UwU ~ Thanks for the compliments and thanks for reading! The “soundtrack” thing was probably one of the funnest things to do when determining how music can aid the reading. Otherwise, that black substance really opened the way for me to hitch in two of my favorite characters in video gaming (Ashley, the Witch-in-training, and Red, her aide). (Yet really, I wanted to balance the cult sacrifice stories with a dash of fantasy - hopefully this plays out in my favor.)
